Disney Cruise Line has unveiled an upgraded courtyard at Woodcock Primary School in Nassau, The Bahamas.

The courtyard includes new basketball rims, a repaved court and a mural painted by local Bahamian artist Angelika Wallace-Whitfield, according to a company statement.

“The purpose of this project is to give kids a more welcoming place to play, and this courtyard at Woodcock Primary School is built for exactly that,” said Rena Langley, senior vice president of communications and public affairs for Disney Signature Experiences, which includes Disney Cruise Line.

“The Play Project helps create opportunities for children to connect, build confidence and simply enjoy being kids. Disney Cruise Line is proud to celebrate this milestone with the Nassau community and our partners across The Bahamas.”

The new facilities are a result of The Play Project, an initiative the cruise line introduced in Line in 2024, thanks to which play spaces across The Bahamas have been transformed.

More than 800 children at nine schools in Eleuthera and Nassau have benefited from various projects, with a new project planned for Abaco.

The unveiling was celebrated together with ESPN’s Take Back Sports and Bahamian NBA player Buddy Hield, founder of the Buddy Hield Foundation.

“Growing up in The Bahamas, I know firsthand how a positive place to play can change a kid’s life. Hosting today’s basketball skills camp is all about passing that gift forward,” said Hield.

“The Buddy Hield Foundation is thrilled to team up with Disney Cruise Line and our collaborators on The Play Project here in Nassau, bringing world-class athletic experiences directly to these kids, showing them that their dreams matter and their community is fully behind them.”
